Farmer-Labor Party

The Farmer-Labor Party was a social democratic political party in the United States which existed from 1918 to 1936. The imbalance in agricultural prices and workers' wages caused by the American entry into World War I led to farmers and workers teaming up to form a party that would fight for their rights. The party was successful in its founding state of Minnesota, and it merged with the US Democratic Party in 1944 to form the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.
